Guinta, left, at the professional military exchange program farewell luncheon February 25 at the Habu Pit Officers’ Club on Marine Corps Air Station Futenma, Okinawa, Japan. The professional military exchange program benefits JASDF and Marines by providing first-hand insight to the daily routines and responsibilities of each service, according to Nishida. The experience and knowledge gained through the program establishes better understanding and communication. Nishida is a flight plan dispatcher with the JASDF. Guinta is the flight planning chief and staff non-commissioned officer in charge of base operations, Headquarters and Headquarters Squadron, MCAS Futenma, Marine Corps Installations Pacific-Marine Corps Base Camp Butler, Japan, and Cranston, RI. native.
